Oven sensor short circuit or abnormally high internal temperature
Moderate
Address soon - your appliance may not work properly
What This Means
Temperature sensor short circuited; Broil, bake, or convection heater resistance incorrect; Relay not working normally; Wire harness disconnected; Oven sensor connector open
How to Fix
- 1
Disconnect power and measure oven sensor resistance (normal: 1080Ω at room temperature)
- 2
Check resistance of broil, bake, and convection heaters
- 3
Check if DLB, broil, bake, and convection relays are working normally
- 4
Check wire harness on Main PCB for disconnection
- 5
Check oven sensor connector resistance (normal: 2850Ω)
- 6
Unit displays C-21 after 10 beeps if temperature exceeds specification during operation
